       In this work, a solid core photonic crystal fibre (SC-PCF) has been designed with endlessly single mode of which both centerd core and holes in the cladding are organized by circles. The designed SC-PCF has a single solid centerd core which is ringed by a six rings hexagonal cladding. The computation of  SC-PCF is  achieved by using the finite element method (FEM) with perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition. All the designed factors like dimensions and distance of both core and cladding areas have varied with an optimized structure. After ending the numerical calculation, the results shows that there are a link between the air hols in the cladding ,  and the different normalized air hole size.

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have recently attracted a great deal of interest because of their unique characteristics and many controllable features. They include a wide range of single mode operation, highly birefringent characteristics (~10-3), high-power light transmission, etc. The field-installable LC connectors tend to be of the larger connector types in the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) distribution units. In these designs, fibers are clamped inside a splice assembly and are stressed within the connector. In this research, we first developed a novel cam-type mechanism for field-use LC connector. The fiber stress was analyzed via a commercial available finite element program. The stress birefringence distributions of single mode fiber and air-silica based PCFs were calculated by stress photoelastic effect. We further studied the effect of air-hole size on the stressinduced birefringence of PCFs. The results indicate that stress-induced birefringence decreases as air-hole size increase. On the other hand, the birefringence increases as applied clamping force increases on the single mode fiber.

AbstractA four-ring microstructure photonic crystal fibre with a descending air hole ring cladding is presented. Numerical analysis of the structure is done using full vectorial finite element method with perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition. It is demonstrated that it is possible to achieve at 1.55 µm confinement loss of 2.767 × 10−5 dB/m, birefringence of 0.00346 and a nonlinear co-efficient of 41.77 km−1 W−1. Also, chromatic dispersion realised suggests a tuneable zero dispersion at 0.9–1.1 µm wavelength range.

AbstractThe success of photonic crystal fibres relies largely on the endless variety of two-dimensional photonic crystals in the cross-section. Here, we propose a topological bandgap fibre whose bandgaps along in-plane directions are opened by generalised Kekulé modulation of a Dirac lattice with a vortex phase. Then, the existence of mid-gap defect modes is guaranteed to guide light at the core of this Dirac-vortex fibre, where the number of guiding modes equals the winding number of the spatial vortex. The single-vortex design provides a single-polarisation single-mode for a bandwidth as large as one octave.

AbstractThe development of all-solid photonic crystal fibres for nonlinear optics is an alternative approach to air-glass solid core photonic crystal fibres. The use of soft glasses ensures a high refractive index contrast (> 0.1) and a high nonlinear coefficient of the fibres. We report on the dispersion management capabilities in all-solid photonic crystal fibres taking into account four thermally matched glasses which can be jointly processed using the stack-and-draw fibre technique. We present structures with over 450 nm broadband flat normal dispersion and ultra-flat near zero anomalous dispersion below 5 ps/nm/km over 300 nm dedicated to supercontinuum generation with 1540 nm laser sources. The development of an all-solid photonic crystal fibre made of F2 and NC21 glasses is presented. The fibre is used to demonstrate supercontinuum generation in the range of 730–870 nm (150 nm) with flatness below 5 dB.

Stress-induced birefringence in single mode polarization maintaining optical fibers has been investigated using the finite element method. The modal birefringence caused by external forces in the Panda and the Side Tunnel fibers are calculated. It is found that the modal birefringence is directly proportional to the radial distance from the fiber center. As expected, the modal birefringence vanishes with the variation in the magnitude of the applied external loads.Key Words: Birefringence, Polarization, Panda Fiber, Side-Pit Fiber, Finite Element Method.
